Battlezone is (as the naming suggests) a critically acclaimed remake of the 1980 arcade game of the same name by Atari; it got released by Activision for Microsoft Windows on February 28, 1998. Aside from the name and presence of tanks, this game bears little resemblance to the original, as Activision remade it into a hybrid of a tank simulation game, a first-person shooter and real-time strategy game.

The game was rereleased on Steam as Battlezone 98 Redux, and contains most of its expansion packs. It also includes the Steam workshop for downloading instant action and multiplayer maps.
